Post subject:  Advice Please on Monitor 19" Widescreen!!!

Hi Guys,

I am already running Triplehead and I love it, but purchased my standard 19" monitors before the Matrox update so am currently playing at the old res 3840 x 1024 - but want to upgrade my set-up to be able to play at the new supported res.

I have seen some 19" monitors that can support the res I am after via Scan:

http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=838511&Product=19%22+Viewsonic+VX1962WM+Black+Widescreen+LCD%2c+1680x1050%2c+2+ms%2c+300+cd%2fm%C2%B2%2c+1000%3a1%2c+Speakers%2c+VESA

Is this a good purchase? I already have a Benq 24" monitor, should i look at gettig 2 more of these? although I don't have loads of space and it would actually be loads cheaper to buy 3 19" monitors than 2 x 24" Benq monitors.

Suggestions and recommendations welcome.

Cheers,
Lea

If you want an easy life stick with what you've got. I went from 3840x1024 to 5040x1050, and whilst it's an improvement, the cost and hassle was significant and it doesn't even work properly in its most optimal state.

Hi mate,

Thanks for the feedback - can you be more specific in terms of why it does not run optimally?

As you say i know the cost is significant to go up to the higher res so I want it to be worth it.

Thanks for taking the time to post - I think I will perhaps leave it until an update which will hopefully be sometime soon, does anybody know if Ibrin has spoken to Matrox at all about the issues in the thread?
